Directed by Seong-ho Jang, with an all-star voice cast including Kenneth Branagh, Mark Hamill, Uma Thurman, and Pierce Brosnan, THE KING OF KINGS offers a heartfelt retelling of this timeless story through the lens of celebrated author Charles Dickens and his son, Walter.

Based on a little-known short story that Dickens read to his family every Christmas, which was only published posthumously in 1934, THE KING OF KINGS follows a unique narrative journey.

The story unfolds as Charles Dickens, voiced by Kenneth Branagh, recounts the life of Jesus to his young son, Walter (voiced by Roman Griffin Davis). Along with their mischievous cat, Willa, the duo are swept into the world of ancient Jerusalem, where they witness the nativity, Jesus’ teachings, and his ultimate crucifixion and resurrection.

What begins as a simple bedtime story transforms into an unforgettable adventure, which invites audiences to explore the eternal themes of love, hope, and faith, all through the eyes of a child.

With breathtaking animation and an unforgettable narrative, this magical film offers both a heart-warming tribute to the Easter story and a wondrous adventure full of inspiration and discovery.

The tale begins with Poirot in self-exile in Venice. He is retired and turning down all requests for his sleuthing services. Even though he is highly sceptical he attends a séance at the behest of his friend the famous writer Ariadne Oliver (Tina Fey). When a murder happens during the event he is pulled back into service.

There is much to like about this film, it looks fantastic with an old-school approach to showing the actors in full-frame close-ups. Branagh’s double moustache is a wonder to behold and the lighting and set design fully sells the creepy aspects of the story. It’s classic who done it stuff.

With source material as rich as Christie’s books it would seem a certainty to provide the basis for a quality product. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case and there are quite a few film versions of her books that just don’t excite. An accomplished talent like Branagh side-step this dilemma and was a perfect choice to bring this seductive story to life.

Julius Robert Oppenheimer was an exceedingly complex man and one many see as both a saint and a sinner. He was instrumental in putting the brain trust together for the Manhattan Project, The collection of minds that developed the first atomic bomb. When it was used twice to bomb the Japanese in Hiroshima and Nagasaki it divided both the world and scientific communities.

Oppenheimer the pragmatist saw the bomb as necessary due to the race for its completion between America and Nazi Germany but as a humanist, he was conflicted. He didn’t trust the government’s implementation of the technology and always struggled with the balance between technological advancements and their use and abuse by humanity.

Christopher Nolan tells a powerful tale about a complicated man who was both rewarded and condemned for his genius. He was a man who felt great guilt about his part in inventing the atomic bomb and its subsequent use as a political tool by the world’s governments. He felt deeply for humanity and struggled under being seen as the destroyer of worlds.

In its simplest terms, it was a conflict between Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland that lasted about 30 years from the late sixties to the late nineties. The underlining cause was the factions in Northern Ireland that wanted to remain part of the United Kingdom and others that wanted to leave to the UK to form their own country.

The story is told through the eyes of nine-year-old Buddy (the transcendent newcomer Jude Hill) and his family who had to endure the violence and unrest during The Troubles before leaving Belfast to move to England. Their existence initially seems idyllic but cracks soon appear before all-out violence and rioting erupt.

Director of photography Haris Zambarloukos does an amazing job and he frames almost every shot with a hyper sense of realism that is very effective at drawing you in. While Branagh has the ability to elicit outstanding performances from his entire cast. This film will tug your heartstrings and entertain you in equal parts. It’s a must-see.

Belfast stars Jamie Dornan, Caitriona Balfe, Judi Dench, Jude Hill and will be released in Aussie cinemas February 3!
